Pacífico Power Plant, Historic power plant in Retiro district, Madrid, Spain.
The rectangular industrial building houses three massive diesel engines and additional machinery for power generation within its brick and ceramic walls.
The power plant, inaugurated in 1924 by King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia, supplied electricity to Madrid's metro network until 1972.
The building combines industrial functionality with architectural elements, featuring white tiles with blue details and red ceramic flooring marking machinery areas.
The facility opens Friday afternoons and weekends, with free guided tours available through advance registration at museosmetromadrid.es.
The structure maintains its original 1923 diesel engines, alternators, and transformers, preserving complete industrial equipment from that period.
